Thank you, thank you, thank you for ALL points of view. Since I've been fiddling with this tuning I've found another!
I have a few songs that I play in a faux Open tuning (via Standard), where I utilize the opens to a great extent. These mostly use the bottom 3 strings. I found a way to use the 'normal' with the 'open'(or "Modal").
Right now I have it tuned with EADGAD. I also tried EADF#AD, and it sounded very promising...
